I've decided to build a very small obs, just large enough for the scope and computer, and then control it all from the warmth or air conditioned comfort of the house. Fed up with sitting out there freezing my man bits off. The ob will be completely roll away so the whole sky is my oyster. There will be a small water tight cupboard that will house the computer, monitor etc. The only times I'll have to go out is to focus, change filters things like that so the time out side will be short, and I can see that It wont be long before an automated filter wheel and focuser will be arriving via Aust Post! BTW I don't look through eyepieces the last time was about 2 months ago and that was to align my finder scope. That's the design stage now it's in the drawing office (head) soon to go to construction (hammer) just a few networking problems to figure out.
